Can't complain with the 1/2 penny. That is an old one for sure. Hope you can get some rain soon.

< Nice find Canadien or American. I wonder why they didn't just call it a Penny. Also, Why call it a token when it was used as currency?

erfect10:! Great find! To bad someone had to drill a hole in it. But it's still a once in a lifetime find! :congrats:!! HH

Wow, that's a great find, Dave! It came out of the ground looking nice too! I don't mind holed coins at all, I think it adds history and character to them.

Terrific find! :beerbuddy:

Somehow I missed this one earlier, congrats on a super find there Dave!

Wow Dave,

Did you find that in Iowa? Iowa didn't become a state until 1851, before that it was just Indian territory, so they don't get much older, at least in Iowa. Nice find!
